Up early again on a Saturday morning (7.30am) so that I can eat some breakfast and ice my sore shins before I venture out on another training run. I think we're going to try 9 miles again today, which seems like a big task the way I'm feeling this morning!

The great thing about being in training for the GNR is that I wake up at weekends now without a self-induced sore head! Can't believe race day is 3 weeks tomorrow!

We've put in 9 weeks of hard training, and we haven't slacked off at all, so I'm feeling fitter than I think I ever have been and looking forward to the big day now! I'm also looking forward to no weekend training runs!
